"This is a tough one. We're left with a card that doesn't perform that well in terms of pure acoustic ability and doesn't support anything above EAX 2.0, but on the other hand we have an unprecedented level of integration and capability in the form of an 'all in one' solution. We suggest that when considering the purchase, you keep in mind what you want the card for. In a situation where you've got a nice LCD panel for movies, or want your HTPC to be that little bit better integrated with the pure digital path [HDCP in(device > card > device)HDCP out] then we'd say the ASUS Xonar HDAV 1.3 might be right for you."
WTMG's Leo Faria: "I guess that what made me feel so disappointed about Shotgun Cop Man was the fact that I had just played a vastly superior game with the same gimmick, but no control issues whatsoever. In Sacre Bleu, I could perform small jumps before blasting myself with the recoil of my bunderbluss. Combat was fun there. It wasn’t here. Shotgun Cop Man ended up being a torturous patience test, with a control scheme that just didn’t fit in with the level design, really poor presentation, and a level of difficulty that never felt like I was being tested; I felt I was being made fun of. In short, if this game’s premise enticed you… go play Sacre Bleu instead."
Embark Studios sheds light on the ARC Raiders Tech Test, revealing just how inept players are at defeating the game’s toughest enemy.
"Wrapping houses is a common prank in which people throw rolls of toilet paper at a house at night. So far, there's never been a video game about this time-honored pastime. Imagine being able to safely wrap houses from the comfort of your own home! Well, Wrap House Simulator is not that game. Instead, it's about running a restaurant. Does the restaurant get wrapped in toilet paper? Probably not. On the plus side, it does have online co-op," says Co-Optimus.
